Color theory
When we go for a visit at e friend or at our relatives the first things we see as we go inside the house is the color they have used.There are some specific color that are totally not acceptable as yellow for example. Some times when we see somthing in yellow our head start hurting. In architecture we use some key word when we talk about colors such as: hue,value,chroma,tint,tone,shade. Even the color are seperated in three grups:Monochromatic colors,Achromatic colors,complementary colors. In fact colors it affect our emotion all the tim. But in architecture color is also used to emphasize of the building.Some times colors in buildings are used to orient people where to go. But from country to country its seen that the colors have different meaning for example in China the wedding dress is red but in europe is white.. In 15th century architects were not much interested in colors but in 17th and 18th century colors were important again.But a city with out colors is so empty this is the reason why colors should be always around us.

Light in architecture
We all are confidence that if we do not have natural light in houses we dont buy them.For this reasons architects try to create a lot spaces so the natural light can go through the houses. But light is not just for lighting the house its also important case it helps you as a architect to read different textures. In acient times it was used the bright open hall, i dont think this is used in nowdays at least i as a architect will not use it. But the house of Philip Johnson was a great job about the place it was cause if i built the same house here in tirana i am 100% sure that it wont be selled at all. I am totally okay with the part that quantity of light is not nearly as important as its quality. I like the idea to have close sides and open in the top cause it gives more attratction,its a good idea to be created in modern houses. But i dont like to have a huge hole in roof and everything else to be closed as in Pantheon. Its a greate structure but if you see it from the top it just looks like a huge hole in the roof. I like the idea of having a good lighted house but not overlighted house. For example Frank Lloyd Wright has created house based on this.
